How should I do ghusal-e-janabah?
Published as Fardh ghusal when one can't insert water in the nose
Question
Recently due to an accident, I fractured a bone in my nose. The doctor advised me not to touch my nose or even put water in my nose until it gets better. How should I do ghusal-e-janabah?
Answer
You are excused.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
